Boxing Day Dilemma
Earlier in the year I needed to sell my Merc Barge in exchange for a sensible family/dog run around that would be happy to ‘poodle’ along and capable of ferrying children and dogs, complete with five doors, and a hatchback big enough for two Labradors.
I calculated the man maths and took it upon myself to purchase a Renault Clio Sport 172 (Not forgetting that I am now in my late forties – mid-life crisis alert!) after I momentarily lost my senses….
It doesn’t tick any of the above boxes and much to the annoyance of my wife, it has cost a small fortune (More than I paid for the car) to get it back to near original condition!
Just as I have won back my wife, and ticked her boxes by purchasing a sensible ford focus, I stand to fall out with my 9 year old son, who has fallen in love with the pocket rocket, and has banned me from selling it any time soon!
Please help - Do I….?
a.) Sell the car and not recover any funds spent on it so far (Including the original cost of the car);
b.) Keep it on the road (this being our 4th car);
c.) Store vehicle as a future classic;
d.) Man maths again…Cage and race it..!!
